| Now listen here folks, there’s one thing sure
|
| My old pencil won’t write no more
|
| Because the lead’s all gone, oh the lead’s all gone
|
| Oh the lead’s all gone, the pencil won’t write no more
|
| I lay down at my bed, just to write a line
|
| I could feel my old pencil droppin' forward all the time
|
| Because the lead’s all gone, oh the lead’s all gone
|
| Oh the lead’s all gone, the pencil won’t write no more
|
| I gets outta my bed, down on the floor
|
| I was worryin' 'bout my old pencil won’t write no more
|
| Because the lead’s all gone, oh the lead’s all gone
|
| Oh the lead’s all gone, the pencil won’t write no more
|
| I met a hot mama, I wanted to love her so bad
|
| I lost all the lead in my pencil I had
|
| Now, the lead’s all gone, oh the lead’s all gone
|
| Oh the lead’s all gone, the pencil won’t write no more
|
| I hugged and kissed her, all last night
|
| It wasn’t nothin' doin', my old pencil wouldn’t write
|
| Because the lead’s all gone, oh the lead’s all gone
|
| Oh the lead’s all gone, the pencil won’t write no more
|
| You sure can tell when a man’s pencil is wrong
|
| His mama’s always, shiftin' from home
|
| Because the lead’s all gone, oh the lead’s all gone
|
| Oh the lead’s all gone, the pencil won’t write no more
|
| Now listen here man, you ought to know
|
| Can’t write for that woman you have to let her go
|
| Because the lead’s all gone, oh the lead’s all gone
|
| Oh the lead’s all gone, the pencil won’t write no more |
